According to Joel Sherman of the NY Post, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman will meet with Ben Sheet‘s agent Casey Close (also Derek Jeter‘s agent) to discuss the pitcher coming to the Bronx.

He’s expected to meet with Omar Minaya of the Mets and other general managers too so don’t read that much into this. Cashman has said his priority is pitching so now that he’s got a center fielder he’s got to get around to getting pitching, right? Especially since he’s traded three pitchers away already.
